The political game is to keep the suckers down and make them happy about it

Society functions with the consent of those within it ….. be it tired acceptance, cynical acceptance, happy acceptance, coerced acceptance, acceptance as the only choice other than death, acceptance of god in lieu of man.

Those fortunate enough to work the system to abstract riches from the masses do to the good that they do or the holes that they plug up, or the gamesmanship they master ….. these honorables are happy with order and law and ways to keep the lid on the unhappiness of those not overwhelmingly happy with their Malthusian existences. Paths to wealth and power are are not always created equal.

The social contract is one that says that the winners in society, those legitimate, those not, get to keep on being winners as long as there are outlets for the steams of despair, hopelessness, wage slavery, lack of access to resource, employment, sustainable work …. as long as there is intimidation, fear of retribution, lack of direction, defense against a sea of other peoples troubles.

Happy paradigms of selling belief in oligarchy, fascism, fear, a place for untouchables and the like protect the powerful.

The cat let out of the bag … the slip up that gives the weakened a chance to survive is the biggest danger to hegemony. The political game is to keep the suckers down and make them happy about it.
